Needs a good 75 minUte decant. Very reluctant.
Nose: Smokey minerals. Lemon rind. Pith. Some sea breeze. Complete. Much richer and more dense as it opens.
Palate: hint of sweet lemon. Hidden density. Delicious. Elegant. Almost an herbal liquor taste after an hour. Denser an hour in.

Lovely! 2018 opened April 2024. Delicate nose: fresh leather and a hint of sage. Bright red fruit on the front that’s balanced by mineral astringency (which is unusual on the front of the palate).Full tannic structure with a silky mouthfeel. The low notes are citrusy — i detect oranges (which is strange because I’d normally think of citrus as high on the high side of the taste spectrum). A slightly different variety of of high notes kick in before it reaches the back of the palate, but they fade on the finish leaving that wonderful silky smooth feel on the back of the throat. Not a particularl long finish, thought. I would have given it a 10 except that the finish wasn’t long enough — and I wanted more! This a unique and wonderful wine. — 16 hours ago
